Telstra Impersonation Reports for 03 9022 7150

Four contributors have flagged calls from 03 9022 7150 (also written as 0390227150) with a consistent pattern of deceptive behaviour. The most specific report describes a caller claiming to represent Telstra, then hanging up immediately when challenged. This tactic aligns with known impersonation scams targeting Australian phone users, where callers pose as major service providers to extract personal or payment information.

The number is allocated as a local service in Victoria through NetSIP Pty Ltd, giving it a legitimate appearance that scammers exploit. Contributors report the calls are answered and the caller disconnects abruptly, preventing meaningful conversation that might expose the scam.

What Callers from 03 9022 7150 Do

One contributor who answered a call from 0390227150 reported the caller explicitly claimed to be from Telstra before hanging up. This mirrors classic telecom impersonation scams where the opener establishes false authority, then either escalates to a fake billing issue or disconnects to trigger curiosity-driven callback attempts.

A second report indicates the caller hung up when asked to be removed from their contact list, suggesting they operate outside legitimate telemarketing frameworks. Contributors describe the interaction as "not a legit operation," indicating the caller's behaviour deviated significantly from standard customer service practices.

Callback-Lure Pattern and Missed Calls

One recent report from early April 2026 documents a missed call from 03 9022 7150 that the contributor deliberately did not return, then deleted the record. This decision likely prevented a scam interaction, as callback-lure tactics exploit the natural impulse to return missed calls, particularly from numbers that appear legitimate or local.

When recipients call back a callback-lure number, they may be transferred to a live scammer or charged premium call rates. The Victoria-based allocation of 0390227150 makes it appear trustworthy, increasing the likelihood contributors will return calls from missed notifications.

What to Do If You Receive a Call from 03 9022 7150
